"It is particularly interesting that this report highlights two of the major issues we face in the Arab world: leadership and moral values. The recent uprisings in Arab countries were a direct challenge to leaderships which could no longer be trusted and were failing to respond to the needs of their people" added Mustapha Kamel Nabli, Governor of the Central Bank of Tunisia (2011-2012) and Chair of the Forum's Global Agenda Council on the Arab World

Professor Steven Sherwood of the Climate Change Research Centre at the University of New South Wales, said: "These authors have [...] found that the oceans are sequestering heat more rapidly than expected over the last decade. By assuming that this behavior will continue, they calculate that the climate will warm about 20% more slowly than previously expected, although over the long term it may be just as bad, since eventually the ocean will stop taking up heat. So while their conclusions are interesting, they need to be taken with a large grain of salt until we see what happens to the oceans over the coming years.”"
